Margarito deserves to be in the HOF!

Paul Williams belongs in there more than a cheater like Margarito.

Yup, here...on a boxing forum. But where it actually matters? Nope, they don't give a single fuck that he was a steroid cheat for God knows how many years. They give him a pass just like they do James Toney and a few others.

Cheating is cheating no matter what.

Let me ask you something, why do you think Antonio Margarito is vilified much more than fighters who have been busted for PEDs?

Because of the way people described the "incident."

Often times extreme exaggeration is used to describe what happened, "he had concrete in his gloves" and "dat dude had bricks in the gloves" etc. They ran a smear campaign on him and it worked. People actually accuse him of loading his wraps against Cotto without a shred of evidence.

Guys like Mosley and Toney were on steroids during fights and this is confirmed.

I'm not here to change anyone's opinions on the guy though, it's a fact that people will call him a cheater no matter what. To me, all cheating is bad.

first punching bag in the hall of fame. Would be ground breaking for everlast

If being mediocre is a factor then sure; a bonafide HOF'er doesn't lose every big fight there in period point blank.

That's odd, never heard of this. Care to lend me some proof that Margarito's gloves were loaded for the Cotto fight?

And Cotto went on to do shit all in the rematch against a past primed one eyed shot to **** Tony who was quickly changing the pace of the fight until the doc stopped it.

How beat up Cotto's face was no I don't have hard proof but one can easily assume if he was trying to use them in the Mosley fight he was using them in the fights leading up to it.

The day Maragarito gets into the Boxing HOF is the day Canastota burns down.

Here in the US, you are innocent till proven guilty, and Margaritas a$$ has been found guilty by all party's. In my view he should have been allowed to fight for a title again, not evenallowed to lace up gloves again.

Unlike Shane, Margarito was to much of a coward to admit his guilt. Keep bringing up Shane and confirmation of PEDs, yet you act as if it was not confirmed that Margarito tried to use Loaded Gloves. Act as if Shane used PEDS at the beginning of his career because getting caught later, yet no proof Margarita was using before he was caught against Mosley.

Stop with the hypocrisy here.
